                               RESOLUTION


 
 To emphasize the importance of understanding the history of President 
Franklin Delano Roosevelt and to recognize the opening of the Roosevelt 
                   Memorial, and for other purposes.

Whereas January 30, 1995, is the one hundred and thirteenth anniversary of the 
        birth of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Hyde Park, New York;
Whereas almost a half-century after the death of President Roosevelt, his legacy 
        remains central to the public life of the Nation;
Whereas before becoming President of the United States, Franklin Delano 
        Roosevelt served in the New York State Senate and later was appointed 
        Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and in 1928 became Governor of New 
        York;
Whereas as President of the United States between 1933 and 1945, Franklin Delano 
        Roosevelt guided the Nation through two of the greatest crises of the 
        twentieth century, the Great Depression and the Second World War, and in 
        so doing, changed the course of American politics;
Whereas a memorial in stone in the District of Columbia will soon be dedicated 
        to his memory, as authorized by Congress in 1955; and
Whereas emphasizing the importance of the history of Franklin Delano Roosevelt 
        would complement the dedication of the memorial: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That all Americans are encouraged to commemorate the 
memory of Franklin Delano Roosevelt coinciding with the dedication of 
the Roosevelt Memorial. That the President is requested to issue a 
proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe the 
memory of Franklin Delano Roosevelt with appropriate ceremonies and 
activities.
